By using availability figures. Let them roll for the pieces of equipment
they want to buy, no matter if it has an Avail of 2/5 minutes, let them
roll. The way I play availability is that the _characters_ make an Etiquette
test to see if the item is there, not the fixer, so it depends much more on
the char than on the person they're talking to.
So when they start running out of APDS, they will try to get new and likely
fail against the TN of 14. Oops, wait for 14 days before you can try again...
